The Orange Local Court heard the 31-year-old intended to plead not guilty to the allegations, but heard Weekes did admit to asking one of the Deputy Premier's staff members, "Are you in bed with the Greens?"

Mr Weekes's lawyer, Bryan Wrench, spoke outside the court and said this question was not offensive.

"The only allegation we do accept is we did say 'Are you in bed with the Greens?'," Mr Wrench said.

"That we say is fair commentary."

Mr Wrench said he would be seeking all call records for that period before the matter was due to return to court in October.
